2007 Nissan Frontier

TRUCK SUDDENLY RUNNING ROUGH. PLUGS REPLACED. TOOK IN FOR RELEARN IDLE. TOLD ME ALSO 3 OF 4 CATS CLOGGED AND COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION. KNEW NOTHING OF THIS ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS UNTIL I LOOKED ONLINE TO TRY AND FIGURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY TRUCK. I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT TRULY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. TO IMAGINE THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE YOUR TRANNIE LOCK UP...? HELLO! THIS HAS CAUGHT ME UNAWARE AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW AND AT 127K MILES, I AM SOL ON ANY KIND OF REFUND, REPAIR, OR ANYTHING? THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE AS I SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS POSITION WITH NO RECOURSE FOR A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOW GOING TO COST ME MORE MONEY THAT I CAN AFFORD. THIS IS THEIR ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT, NOT ME. THEY KNEW AND THEY SHOULD FIX. REGARDLESS, WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH ACTUAL DAMAGE THIS HAS CAUSED MY ENGINE NOW? I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW.... DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO NOW. BUT IF I BUY ANOTHER TRUCK, I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A NISSAN...TOO MANY COVER UPS...NO RESPONSES OR FIXES... *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT SINCE FEB 2014 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION AT 40 MPH IN THE REAR END. SO I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED THEN RE BALANCED THINKING IT WAS THE TIRES. EVEN WENT AS FAR AS REPLACING THE REAR TIRES. AFTER THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE I THEN TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAILURE IN THE RADIATOR THAT LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF I HAVE IT DONE BEFORE MY TRUCK REACHES 100K IT WILL ONLY COST ME 3000 TO GET IT FIXED AND NISSAN WILL PICK UP SOME OF THE COST. BUT IF I GO OVER 100K I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL REPAIR COST. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 98910. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH THE PLACE I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T COVER THE RADIATOR I AM NOW LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. SO NOW I AM AT A LOSS, JUST STARTED PAYING ON THE VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE TO SPEND 3000 AT MIN TO GET IT FIXED. I SHOULD NOT BE PUTTING THIS KIND OF MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK AFTER OWNING IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. *TR

I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN THE SUBJECT NISSAN VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE FAILURE, AND NISSAN CONTINUED TO INSTALL DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS IN THE SUBJECT NISSAN VEHICLES KNOWING THAT THEY WERE PRONE TO PREMATURE FAILURE. NISSAN NOT ONLY REFUSED TO DISCLOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO ACTIVELY CONCEALED KNOWLEDGE OF IT. NISSAN UNDERTOOK AFFIRMATIVE EFFORTS TO CONCEAL THE FAILURES THROUGH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED TO REPAIR FACILITIES. ALTHOUGH NISSAN WAS AWARE ENOUGH OF THE PROBLEM TO ISSUE MULTIPLE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS TO REPAIR FACILITIES, INFORMING THEM OF THE NEED FOR TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS TO BE REPLACED, NISSAN SELECTIVELY CHOSE NOT TO INFORM CONSUMERS OF THIS FACT. NISSAN CONCEALED THIS SO THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THE SUBJECT NISSAN VEHICLES WOULD EXPIRE BEFORE OWNERS BECOME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THROUGH THIS PRACTICE, NISSAN UNLAWFULLY TRANSFERS THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FROM ITSELF TO THE OWNERS OF THE SUBJECT NISSAN. THE FACT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS WERE PRONE TO SUDDEN PREMATURE FAILURE IS MATERIAL TO CONSUMERS BECAUSE IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND PLACES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AT A RISK OF HARM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WHICH HAS ONLY A 122,431 MILES ON IT AND SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I WAS GOING UP THE HILL IT WAS LIKE IT JUST STALLED OUT ON ME. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON IT AND IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN IS JUST TRYING TO HIDE THE PROBLEM. IF ITS SOMETHING THAT THEIR AT FAULT WITH THEY SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO FIXES IT. I DEPEND ON MY TRUCK EVERYDAY TO GET ME TO WORK AND IF ITS THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING ITS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD AND THE OTHER PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE RELIABLE FOR SO I WISH U WOULD CONSIDER THIS AND DO AND INVESTIGATION ON IT AND TRY AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT MESSES ANYBODY ELSE'S UP AND PUTS THEM OUT ALOT OF MONEY. THERE'S JUST TO MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF U ALL DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NISSAN IS JUST GOING TO KEEP DOING THE SAME THING TIL SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO RUMBLE WHEN SHIFTING TO OVERDRIVE. LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND HEARD ABOUT THE CROSS CONTAMINATION ISSUE. LOOKED FOR SYMPTOMS AND FOUND THAT WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND FLUD IN MY RADIATOR. I HAVE SPEND HUNDREDS ON FLUSHING THEM OUT AND BYPASSING THE RADIATOR. TRANSMISSION IS STILL RUMBLING. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES ME NO GOOD, FOR I AM OVER THE COVERED MILAGE LIMIT.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING "HARD" AND THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND VISA VERSA. I NEEDED TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING AS THE PREVIOUS SHOP, BUT ALSO THAT I WOULD BE NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR SYSTEM, AT THE COST OF $4848.00. THIS WAS DUE TO A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS HAS OCCURRED TO HUNDREDS OF NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDER, FRONTIER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2007 AND HAS UNDERTAKEN NO PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM FAILURE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SHUTTERING AND SLIPPING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WAS GETTING WORSE SO I TOOK IT TO KINGS TRANSMISSION ON 3-13-14 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY DISCOVERED WATER IN THE FLUID AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE HAD A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR FAILING AND LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. THE TRUCK IS NOW AT A NISSAN DEALER GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.
